The KTB Fit ranking

  1. 1Ernie McCrew KTB Selection57/100

    Form 526317 · J. S. Moore · Edward Greatrex

    Limited class performer who has been up and down this year with a win and two placings from his last six runs. Drops back to a trip he has won over though he is unproven on standard to slow going and makes his first appearance at Kempton. Trainer holds a 9% strike rate here from 558 runs.

  2. 2Miss Mambo48/100

    Form 367624 · Gay Kelleway · Benoit de la Sayette

    Limited filly who has shown little since a placed effort at this trip on turf in the summer. She was well held on her only previous visit to Kempton and has failed to land a blow in three runs since. First-time headgear is now applied but the yard's modest record here offers little encouragement.

  3. 3Captive Beauty47/100

    Form 602830 · Ross Burdon · Kaiya Fraser

    Limited performer who has shown little since a placed effort on debut. Dropping back to 1m today asks a fresh question after a laboured effort over slightly further last time. Trainer holds an 8% strike rate at Kempton from 24 runs while the jockey also operates at a modest level here.

  4. 4Positive Thoughts47/100

    Form 536864 · John & Sean Quinn · Billy Loughnane

    Limited horse who has shown only modest form across 11 starts and remains winless at this trip from four attempts. The yard has a 0% strike rate from six runs at Kempton while the colt is unproven on standard to slow ground. Billy Loughnane takes the ride on a first visit to the track.

  5. 5Grand Vista47/100

    Form 383687 · William Muir & Chris Grassick · Ray Dawson

    Limited performer who has shown bits of ability but remains winless after ten runs. Has a placed effort at this trip but was only fifth on his one visit here and has failed to place in three of his last four starts. Trainer holds a solid 11% strike rate at the track from a decent-sized sample.

  6. 6Henfield46/100

    Form 821425 · Karen Jewell · David Probert

    Limited horse who has shown just fair form at best in ten starts this year.

  7. 7Lihou Lady45/100

    Form 6-674 · David Evans · Joe Leavy

    Lihou Lady has shown only modest form in four starts and sits right at the bottom of the handicap on her handicap debut.

  8. 8Grey Sands41/100

    Form 137559 · Kim Bailey & Mat Nicholls · Dougie Costello

    Grey Sands is a limited performer who has been largely out of form since an early win.

  9. 9Arvana Belle40/100

    Form 542522 · Rod Millman · Darragh Keenan

    Limited performer who has been knocking at the door without success lately, finishing second in three of her last four starts.

  10. 10Alice's Influence40/100

    Form 343454 · David Evans · Alexandra McDonnell(7)

    Limited performer who has shown consistent but modest form this year without winning.

  11. 11Call Alert40/100

    Form 05407 · William Muir & Chris Grassick · Kieran O'Neill

    Limited performer who has failed to build on an early promise shown in his second start.

  12. 12Wild Rosie39/100

    Form 607846 · Chris Dwyer · Harry Davies

    Wild Rosie has shown only limited ability across ten runs and her recent form of 607846 suggests she is struggling to make a serious impact at this level.

  13. 13Girls Allowed30/100

    Form -46290 · Julia & Shelley Birkett · Dylan Hogan

    Limited filly who has shown very little in eight starts and was beaten 14 lengths when last of nine over course and distance on her most recent visit.
